How to separate bricks

[crazytok]

Need to rebuild a wall that is glued with PU700. The stone is the same as in the picture, Benders Labyrint Maxi.

HOW on earth do I get it apart, if it's even possible! 😅 It would of course be desirable to be able to reuse some of the stones if possible!

I've tried a smaller hammer drill and plastic wedges without much success. It really sticks like a rock! 😬

Any tips and tricks???

Saw with tools such as handsaw, piano wire, wire saw/cable saw/saw wire.

I have tried a smaller rotary hammer and plastic wedges without greater success. It really sticks like a rock! 😬

Try a heavier rubber mallet and hit hard on the top stones, you have to take row by row from the top down..

PL700 probably bites very well in stone in that way.............doubtful if it can even be split apart without destroying them.

Have done it a number of times so no problems!

Have you done it on Sten glued with pu700?? Mine are rock solid, I've tried everything and hammered, and nothing happens at all. But sure, the first stone is probably the hardest since it's clamped on both sides. Maybe it will be easier after I get the first one loose?

What size hammer have you used??
